An itinerary suspended in time between the dunes of the Sahara and the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Discover ancient caravan cities, prodigious oases, solitary mosques, fascinating libraries surrounded by sands and mysterious monoliths. Until you reach Nouadhibou with its ship cemetery and descend along the coast towards Nouakchott, crossing the splendid Banc D’Arguin Park.
A journey that has the flavour of exploration and allows you to combine the magical Saharan atmosphere with the exciting views of the Atlantic coast. From a warm heart of majestic sand dunes drawn by the wind, rocky landscapes, canyons, cliffs, splendid valleys with lush oases and ancient caravan towns that preserve precious manuscripts, to the spectacular encounter of the desert with the ocean, where the force of the waves fights the advance of the sands and the dunes surrender to the sea. On the coast, a real jewel is the Banc d’Arguin Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site), where myriads of migratory birds winter and breed. This is one of the most beautiful corners of paradise along this uninhabited and wild coastline.
